Dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to a post-doctoral position available in my research group. For all the details, please see the complete call text below. If you need any further information, please contact me directly. Best regards, Paulina Dominiak An announcement for Post-doctoral position Position of Post-doctoral Researcher in the OPUS project entitled "More accurate models of the electrostatic potential of biological macromolecules and organic crystals necessary for proper interpretation of data from cryo-electron microscopy and from electron diffraction – feasibility study" financed by NCN is open for application. Project leader: dr hab. Paulina M. Dominiak, prof. UW Available positions: 1 Project description: The Dominiak’s group works on developing new methods of electron density modelling for X-ray and electron crystallography, chemistry and structural biology. The project aims at development of new models of electrostatic potentials for electron crystallography. The models will considerably deviate from the conventional spherical independent atom model currently used. With new models more information should be extracted from electron scattering experiments on biological macromolecules and organic crystals, and improved quality of geometric data and quantitative estimates of molecular electrostatic potentials should become easily available. For further information see http://cnbch.uw.edu.pl and http://www.chem.uw.edu.pl. Position description: You will be mainly responsible for development and verification of new databanks of atomic electron densities on the basis of existing procures published in: Acta Cryst. 2012, A68, 139; JCTC, 2014, 10, 1652; ChemPhysChem, 2016, 17, 2455; Acta Cryst. 2017, B73, 610.
